Emily woke up the next morning to sun rays streaming in through their bedroom window. She rolled over and looked at the clock which read: 6:30 AM. She and Spencer had slept through the whole night, and she was waking up 30 minutes late! They lied down with the intention of a short nap, so they didn't set their alarm, which now made them very late. She jumped up out of the bed, shaking Spencer as she did so. He jumped awake.

"What is it, Emily?" He asked groggily sitting up in the bed.

"We slept all night! Which means that we didn't set the alarm! It's 6:30, and we're going to be late for work!" She replied while digging through her chest of drawers.

"Great." Spencer said running into his closet.

"I'm going to use the shower in Becca's room if she doesn't mind, so you can use this one!" Emily yelled running down the hall. Without knocking, she ran into Becca's room. She found the bed neatly made, and no Becca in sight. She didn't think anything of it, and she ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

An hour later, Spencer and Emily were frantically running down the stairs and towards the door. Spencer had brewed a pot of coffee while Emily was in the shower, so she scrambled to find her coffee mug. She poured the coffee in it, and opened the refrigerator to get the creamer. When she picked it up, she saw that there was a sticky note attached. She ripped it off, poured the creamer, and read the note. It was from Becca and it said:

Spencer and/or Emily,

I realized last night while you two were sound asleep that I have to go to the hospital for a treatment today. I'm sorry I didn't wake you guys and tell you, but you both were so tired, I just couldn't bring myself to wake you. I'm taking Spencer's old car. I hope it's okay… I figured you guys would probably take the SUV anyway. I hope it's not a problem. See you guys later. Have a good day at the BAU! :)

Always,

Becca

"Spencer, Becca went in for a treatment today, and she took your old car. She left us a note on the creamer." Emily said picking up her coffee mug and walking towards the door.

"Why didn't she ask me first?" He asked when they were buckled up in the SUV.

"She said that she didn't want to wake us up."

"Oh, I wished she would have asked though."

"Yeah, I know. I really wish she would have told us about her treatment too. I've been really worried about her lately." Emily said.

"Yeah, me too. The other night, I woke up to get a glass of water and she was screaming in her sleep because of a nightmare. She was screaming, "I DIDN'T MEAN TO! I DIDN'T MEAN TO! I KILLED HIM BUT I DIDN'T MEAN TO, I PROMISE!" I was going to wake her up, but I think she woke herself up." Spencer said.

"Oh my gosh, it was about when she was kidnapped by that UnSub, and she shot and killed him?"

"Yeah. I knew it would take her awhile to get over it…"

"Ugh, I feel really bad now. I should have asked her about that last night."

"What could you have done, sweetheart? That's something she will always have to cope with by herself. It's not like you can take the event out of her mind."

"Well, I could have at least offered her my support."

"It's okay now. Just try not to think about it. We have to go to work." Spencer said pulling into his designated parking space at the BAU.

The two walked in ready to face whatever punishment Hotch would give them for being so late. When they reached the bullpen, they saw Morgan sitting at his desk with a stack of paperwork on his desk. They looked, and on their desks as well, was a stack of paperwork at least 4 inches thick.

"Well look who finally decided to show up!" Morgan said putting his pen down.

"We slept late." Emily said sitting down her desk chair.

"Oh, sure. I'm sure that's what it was." Morgan said with a wink.

"It was. Believe us or not, it's true." Emily said icily.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I believe you."

"Paperwork day?" Reid asked changing the subject.

"Yeah, and it sucks too. There's no way I can get all that crap done today, but we have to. Hotch's orders."

"Most of it was probably due last week." Reid said.

"Yeah it was. I guess we all better go start on it." Morgan said walking back to his desk.

After a few minutes, Hotch came running down the steps walking over to the bullpen where Spencer, Emily, and Morgan were.

"Have any of you heard from JJ? I've called her twelve times, and she is not answering. She was supposed to be here two hours ago." Hotch said angrily.

Everyone shook their head.

"I'll try calling her a few more times then." Hotch said walking back up to his office.

"Well he's upset." Emily said.

"Yeah, he's more upset than mad. It's unlike JJ to be this late unless she's sick or something." Reid said.

"You're right. Well, let's trust that she's got a good reason, and finish this ridiculous paperwork."

The day was long and dull. Spencer finished his paperwork at 4 o'clock, and Emily still had half of hers to go, so Spencer took half of the half she had left, and finished it for her. They both finished around seven. Before they left, Emily went up the stairs to speak with Hotch.

"Did you ever get a hold of JJ?" she asked.

"No, I did not. I left her messages though. She is probably sick or something. I'm not really worried about it anymore. Did you and Spencer get your paperwork finished? I noticed you were 30 minutes late."

"Yes, sir. We did finish our paperwork. I'm really sorry for being late. We overslept."

"I'll let you get by this time, but next time, there will be consequences."

"Thank you, sir. Have a nice evening." Emily said walking out of Hotch's office.

"Prentiss, wait!" Hotch called.

"Yes sir?" she asked reentering his office.

"What did you find out at the doctor's office yesterday?" he asked with one of his rare smiles.

Emily smiled and said, "It's a girl."

"Congratulations Prentiss. Tell Reid for me too."

"Okay. Bye, sir." She walked out and down to where the car and Spencer were. After so much paperwork, she couldn't wait to get home.

When the two arrived at their comfy house, they walked inside to see Becca crying her eyes out on the sofa. Emily immediately ran to sit next to her to comfort her. Spencer just sat down awkwardly on the chair across from the couch.

"Aw, Becca, what's wrong? Why are you so upset?" Emily asked her sweetly.

"I'm not upset."

"Then what's wrong? You look upset to me."

"These aren't tears of being upset. These are tears of joy, Emily."

"What? Why are you crying tears of joy then?"

"I'm in remission. I went to the doctor today, and he told me that I'm in remission! I'm so happy that I'm crying." Becca said between sobs.

"What? Oh my gosh!" Emily cried squeezing Becca into a huge hug. She finally let go, and Spencer took her place. He held her for a long time before he started crying himself. Becca pulled away when she felt a tear hit her shoulder.

"Why are you crying Spence?"

"Because I'm so happy that I'm not going to lose my sister." He replied wiping his eyes.

"You know what? I think this deserves celebration. Let's go out tonight!" Emily exclaimed.

"That's perfect." Spencer said.

Becca smiled from ear to ear. If felt good to know that someone actually cared.

Note: I really liked this chapter because it showed Hotch's nice side, and it had happy news concerning Becca! I can't promise steady updates anymore because school starts Monday, and you know how school can be. I promise I'll update as soon as I can. Please review if you are liking this story. I constantly need inspiration. Thanks! And hearts to you all. :)
